Test Free - seems low, also need a total testosterone test done.
Estradiol, maybe a touch high
Prolactin, this looks too high to me.
FHS/LH these are quite high which indicates that your body is working hard to produce more test because you are not getting enough.

I wonder why they prescribe such fast esthers. Why not just go test undeconoate every 2 weeks?

They use fast esters in case you react poorly or get prolactin issues - you get it out of your system faster.

I'm 48 and have been on TRT for around 6 years. I'm actually investigating trialling clomid as I'm getting annoyed with the T sides. High BP, high RBC, acne, acne, acne, water retention, and hair loss. The ACNE really bothers me. I've been on Androgel, Testim, and am currently on a compounded T made by a compounding pharmacy.

Being on T has definitely helped me - I was very overweight, tired, no energy, no libido, the whole shooting match. But I've come to a tipping point where I am weighing the pros and cons.

That's what I was going to suggest as well. If you're only taking testosterone, an anti-DHT can slow down or perhaps even prevent the sides with the hairline. While you can't fix BP and everything, you can also control the estrogenic sides to some degree.

If you do attempt a restart, there are other drugs worth looking into besides standard clomid therapy. As a TRT vet, I don't know if you or your endo already know the additional routes, but there are some communities I could link you to that are fairly good when it comes to this. If the name Michael Scally means anything, he's a regular on one as well.

By no metric is cyp a fast ester. A terminal half life of 3-4 days gives a good balance of balancing doses based on side effects and injection frequency.

He meant relatively. Longer esters than ent/cyp are often used in TRT, but I agree with you.

I don't want to hijack the OPs thread, but.... There's very little in the way of doctors where I live. Just having a doctor that prescribes TRT for male aging is rare. I see my sexual health doc in a few weeks and am going to ask about the clomid route based on Dr. Crisler's info. I'm actually a member on the UK board with Scally. It's entirely possible the doc won't even attempt the clomid as it's an off label use in Canada. Same with AI's and HCG and the like. In the small area I live it you probably have a better chance of dying on the way to your appointment than being put on an AI.
